Junior High School Electives

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to offer the students instruction in interesting, applied academic areas? At St. Michael Catholic School, we are doing just that with innovative classes, such as Travel & Geography, Banking or How to become a Millionaire, Newspaper & Photography, Cooking, and more.



Students meet for their elective courses twice a week for a semester. New courses will be offered each semester. Elective courses are taken pass/fail and carry no homework aside from bringing in items for group projects. For example, a student might bring a sombrero to school for a travel class project.
